Pros:Nice excursion "TELE", good compactness and maneuverability. Excellent image rendering.
Cons:Minimum focusing distance. (maybe today I would prefer the 70-300 but I've never tried it)
Opinion:Excellent telephoto lens. It covers all needs ranging from short to medium telephoto also offering the possibility of reaching 200mm which are more than enough for general use. Excellent sharpness. Focusing speed not lightning fast but more than adequate. At the minimum focal length it also has a good maximum brightness that is not excessively reduced to all focal lengths. A great travel companion.
Pros:Sharp, good stabilization, small and lightweight, adequate price.
Cons:For my needs I can't find any
Opinion:I share the review of IlPaparozzo of April that I read only now. About the non-tropicalization I must say that I took photos, some I published in my galleries, in the rainforest of Madagascar with humidity 'l 99% is in the dust during a safari in Kenya and, paying a little attention, I had no problems and I brought home excellent shots. The problem is more in the sensor when i changed lenses.
Pros:Robust, very sharp lens "even at TA", AF fast enough, TA diaphragm not bad "f3.5-4.8".
Cons:Apart from the absent tropicalization, DO NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT BEFORE!
Opinion:As an owner of various Fuji lenses, I must say that this 55-200mm zoom remains one of my favorite lenses, I can safely confirm both the build quality and sharpness as well as an excellent compactness and a really low weight. Freehand, using safety times, you can already appreciate a high sharpness already at TA, mounted on my X-H2S I can get excellent shots of birds "not too pushed" as evidence that the stabilizer and AF work very well! Before buying this remarkable lens, I happened to read in some reviews (few), that exceeded a certain focal length, from 150mm up to 200mm, the lens begins to have a drop in sharpness even considerable, now, it will be that I happened to a perfect specimen .... bah! I don't think so luck!.... my 55-200 is sharp even at maximum extension and maximum aperture, obviously the distances between camera and subject must be considered but I can honestly say that I do not see this loss of sharpness, indeed I invite you to view some photos taken with this lens posted on my Juza profile. the AF goes a bit into crisis if there is poor light but this happens mainly with long focal lengths, vignetting such as flare are really minimal and are present only at TA in addition, distortion such as aberration is practically absent, things that instead I happen to find more clearly in much more expensive lenses! Using this medium canvas I understood one thing, sometimes it is not necessary to spend barrels of money to have a quality return and this lens is the testimony. I am really satisfied and highly recommend this Zoom!
Pros:Lightness, size, sharpness, stabilization, quality/price ratio
Cons:Nobody
Opinion:Excellent telephoto zoom of high amateur range, it stands out for the wide and complementary focal range to the 18-55 that with small dimensions and weight, combined with excellent quality makes it perfect for landscaping and street photography. Equipped with good brightness and excellent sharpness. After a while I use it I must say that it amazes me more and more in a positive sense, especially thinking that I bought it at a very good price The lens is built in Japan and the build quality is up to all the other Fuji lenses. Obviously it is not a professional lens and especially in portraiture it can not stand comparison with the brother 50-140 2.8 but for the weight and price, about half make it very competitive. Another consideration is the lack of WR unlike the 70-300 and the block of the lens that walking could stretch but for me it is not a problem since it is not a professional lens, instead it has a nice stabilization unlock button that the 70-300 does not have and you have to go and unlock it in the car.
Opinion:Purchased a year ago and kept a few months enticed by complementarity with the 18 55. In fact if you are satisfied cin these two zoom le jeux sont fait. At that time, however, I also bought the 90mm f2, and as a foregone conclusion I noticed the big flaws. As I always say I love the fixed, the precious ones, and there is no competition cin the zooms. But while the 23 1.4 did not make them pass the desire to use the 18 55 that I still consider exceptionally successful lens, the 90 made me hate the zoom in review of which I could not appreciate a lot. I can't say anything else. Technically they say a lot about others. I sold it.
